Yup! And I feel like my lips are always chapped lately, too. Though I do live in Antarctica aka the Michigan Tundra. Haha.

5 Days Pre Op Still On Clear liquids When Will I Have A Bowel Movement

I had mine on day 7

I had to take milk of magnesia twice before I finally had one.

Hello all. I haven't been avoiding y'all, I've just been moving into a new place

As far as dry mouth, my lips are so dry... And my hands are. Very dry. I'm always putting lotion on. At first I thought it was from handling all of the cardboard boxes and newspaper to dishes and things in, but now I'm thinking I'm pretty dehydrated as my urine is very yellow.

As far as Constipation goes, I'm the opposite. Which doesn't help my dehydration issues.

April I am constantly putting lotion on my hands and feet! I have been averaging a little over 48 oz of Water a day.

Is anyone at the mushy stage yet : refrained Beans fish mashed up , cottage cheese etc. how much should we be eating my notes from the dietician say from 2oz- 4 oz I have been trying to hit the 4 ounces mark each time because I want to get all the Protein I can. I am usually full when I am done and takes from 30 mins to an hour to eat

My hands have been the driest i've ever had. I'm also really sure I'm really dehydrated as my pee is getting more yellow and less amounts every time I pee. I need more fluids. Probably why milk of magnesia hasn't been working for me no Fluid to get the poops out.

Need. More. Liquids. I

I too have really dry hands and arms, and lips too. I also have started having a radiating pain in my back between shoulders about 6-10 seconds after eating or drinking anything, even Water. I have to take a liquid antacid and gas x to get rid of the pain. Is that what reflux or heartburn is??? I've never had either pre surgery. My dr had prescribed me to take Prilosec daily for 3 myths after surgery but insurance denied it. I know they have it OTC too, but pharmacist said it was in a capsule and not to break it open and dissolve in water. So until, I can swallow the capsule, I cannot take that. I am seeing my dr on Friday...

The Prilosec OTC is not a capsule, you can actually crush it, the prescribed one is a capsule and that is the one you cant open. I am taking Prevacid and my insurance is covering it. Hope this help!!

[Sarahjane79 397]

The prilosec otc I've had had all been capsules.

I think Prevacid is what they have me in the hospital and you can let it sit under your tongue.

[Fabyola10 0]

The one I always get at CVS is not a capsule, I also got it at B,B&B and was not a capsule either

[Sarahjane79 397]

The brand name prilosec otc and the store brand I've gotten from walgreens are capsules. In fact, the walgreens brand capsule looks exactly like the ones in my prescription bottle.

Maybe there are different pills.< /p>
